Dr. Doswell earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Oberlin College with double degrees in Cognitive Neuro-Psychology and Computer Science; a Master’s degree in Systems and Computer Science from Howard University; and a Ph.D. degree in Information Technology from George Mason University defending an applied computer science dissertation; creating the world’s first culturally competent, empathetic, and ethical (CCEE) artificial intelligence (AI) educator product line software architecture to deliver personalize AI e-training and e-evaluation through mixed-reality (e.g., augmented reality, virtual reality, holographic, and real-world) environments to improve measurable skill competency from nursing, surgical and public health to commercial space, construction, tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), and manufacturing training and assistance.
Dr. Doswell is the founder, president, and chief executive officer (CEO) of Juxtopia, LLC; a privately held for-profit biomedical and information technology company with a mission for improving human performance®. Dr. Doswell led Juxtopia to secure federal and state grant & contract awards to develop and commercialize AI enabled wearable mixed reality and body-worn sensors for eradicating public health disparities and improving the lethality of the warfighter.
Dr. Doswell also co-founded the American Public Health Association (APHA) Health Informatics and Information Technology (HIIT) Section and, recently, was selected as the APHA-HIIT AI Ambassador program to interface AI in every facet of public health in the U.S. and Internationally. Dr. Doswell also co-created the first Black commercial space craft company in the United States to deliver autonomous robots to service satellites; and competed a 100% minority team in the Google Lunar X PRIZE (2008-2012) that demonstrated underserved and disadvantaged minority student skill competency where students engineered an autonomous lunar robot to travel 500 meters across the Moon’s surface.
To advance AI for augmenting human performance, Dr. Doswell co-founded the artificial intelligence for intelligent augmentation (AiiA) think tank under non-profit organization, The Juxtopia Group, Inc. To advance AI education, worldwide, Dr. Doswell launched the International Intelligent X Instructor (iiXi) program and associated iiXi conference; with its inaugural 2007 conference held at Georgetown University and attracting attendees including, but not limited to, CIA, DARPA, Harvard, and Northwestern University, and other colleges/universities, internationally.
Dr. Doswell finds balance in his high-tech AI world by playing and composing music for violin and piano and practicing Martial Arts (e.g., Tae-Kwon-Do and Wushu).
